R help - Aug 2006 - Need help with difficulty loading page www.bioconductor.org

The page is either too busy, or there is something seriously wrong with 
access to this page.

Most of the time, trying to reach www.bioconductor.org results in 
failure. Only once in a
blue moon, do I get through.

In fact, thus far, I have not been able to install bioconductor, since 
the first source(...)
command from the R command window -- following instruction on 
www.bioconductor.org
page, that I did manage to reach, one time -- has failed, every time.

Please help.

I didn't see a response to this, and am not an expert, but wanted to
point you in the right direction.

You should ask this question on the bioconductor mailing list.

The site is very much alive at this end (though I'm very close to it,
physically), so you'll need to provide some more information about the
problems you're experiencing. At a minimum it would help to include
the output of the R command

sessionInfo()

If you're using Windows you might also look at mailing list threads
dealing with server proxies. Searchable archives are at

this link

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor/2152/match=internet2

and searching for internet2 might be a good start.
